We just ask them to text us a pic of the DL when they arrive at the house and to text us when they leave.

He mentions being responsive but this is referring to quickly and efficiently managing issues as they arrive.  

I wonder if this could affect vacation rentals, i.e. a guest arrives with a dog, and even though we clearly state on AIR and VRBO that pets are not allowed, here they are anyway.

That is all I use (other than direct communication with guests before they arrive).I tell ya you can do it.

There are just too many issues and they can cause too much time when you are trying to clean a house for a guest that is arriving in a couple hours.

On the issue that just arrived today, the entire front page is "Skyrocketing Housing Prices".Some of the points made in the article are: “What we are living with now is a result of and reaction to the Great Recession”“Add to this whole mix the pandemic, and it is the low-wage earning service workers that have been most hurt and that causes a really big disparity in income”“Sellers have become accustomed to asking over the market value and getting it”“There is going to have to be more affordable housing, bottom line”"the city is discussing developer incentives to set aside a number of units in development for workforce housing; revitalizing older neighborhoods"Here is a link to the full article Low inventory leads to rising housing prices across Chandler, East Valley | Community ImpactWhat are your thoughts? 

@Eric Gomez NFA's take a long time to arrive, so keep that in mind if you're in a time crunch and need to close sooner than later. 

It's getting hotter and more competitive though!

up there,   the city council 'turned blue' in the last election cycle so some kind of regulations are probably going to arrive eventually.I do intend to eventually sell off my remaining seattle property,  but for now as its fully updated,  meets inspection rules, attracting good tenants and running smoothly its in the cash-cow phase of ownership and I'm not in a hurry to divest it.

Your expense ratio will be higher than a MH park (which average about 40%) depending on how many transient spaces you still have, the hours of operation you keep for your onsite staff to accommodate new arrivals, and the amenities at the park that create additional expense.
